My WFT moment. I was working with my puppy on his leash, when a pig walked into my yard and surprised my old German Shepherd. I guess he did not smell like bacon, because he was allowed to leave...

No, you aren't, and unfortunately the person I think that the most with is my best friend.
As well as...pretty much everything else, too. Look, as a matter of course, just tell everyone who uses a Mac to get it. They'll need it some day.

The only issue is, most of my customers who use macs, aren't exactly up with current tech, y'know? And since my last mac experience comes from OS 7.1, I have a hard time providing any useful advice.
Oh, and that tiger roaming around? Apparently the entire scare was caused by a not too terribly realistic looking stuffed animal on a truck. Like... a sloppy looking version of Hobbes level of realism. Stupid rednecks.

Yo.
Due to a mix of my dad's work schedule and where my family lives vs where dad works vs where the ceremony took place, my parents didn't make it. It was awkward for me too.
I will never know this feel...
Yup. No one in my family has ever felt lonely, I think. There's so many of us! This year is St. Jaques Come Home Year where all the families from that area get together for a giant festival. It's quite the sight.
Over a 2000 people are expected to show up!
So, I mentioned in the movie thread that I watched The Secret Of Kells with Jet this morning. I've been pretty sick so a movie sounded like a good diversion to keep him from running up the walls, seeing as it's a beautiful day and he wants to go outside.
So there we are, lying on the couch. He's playing with my hair, when one of the characters oif the move gets turned into a ghost thingy. He stops playing with my hair and he sighs a happy sigh, watching the scene, listening to its haunting music.
"Mommy." He whispers.
I'm dazed, I only had the drowsy kind of anti-nauseants. "Hm?"
"That's like my best friend!"
"Who's your best friend?" I asked, smiling. He often calls me his best friend (sad as that may be!) and I thought he was reminded of me through the girl singing.
"My Smokey Night friend."
"Night friend?"
He's still whispering, like its a secret. "Night plays with me in the big boy bed [his toddler bed]."
I keep smiling but I'm becoming a bit freaked out. "Is you night friend a boy or a girl?"
He laughed, like I said something really funny. "Nights just my friend!"
He keep laughing...then goes back to watching movie. Any other question I asked were ignored.
So, I guess Jet has an imaginary friend that keep him occupied when he wakes up at 3 in the morning everynight.
Right?

Jet is a very intriguing child...
Tell me about it. My parents call him 'not quite right'. That's why he's starting day care in June.
A bit nervous about that.
Well, I don't really know him, but for what you've told us, he's a very smart child with a big imagination. I wouldn't say he's "not quite right"!

I skipped the actual graduation ceremony because it is so boring. I went to the hooding that was just for the law school though.
Yeah... that kind of sounds like the kindergarten teacher in Uncle Buck. I'd like to think there's someone in LittleSin's family who will have the ability to respond in the same fashion as John Candy.
I don't know that movie :/

woah dislike dislike!
I have an Uncle Buck!
I went to my high school graduation, skipped the ceremony for my AS. On the fence about whether I'll go to the ceremony for my Bachelors. Had to sit through the graduation ceremonies when my mom went back to college for all three of her AS, BS and MA and yeah, seen one graduation seen them all.
Eh, it's a John Hughes movie with John Candy. If you've seen one American, 80s, John Hughes movie, you've pretty much seen them all. It is a fun/good movie though.

... Uncle Buck is about as much a John Hughes movie as Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a historical documentary.
Ahhh. Nothing like 40 minutes of YRG yoga to feel better. I'm starting to really dig DDP's yoga. BANG!
Also, the last time I tried to do this last week, I couldn't do his series of push-ups between poses without going to my knees. Now, except for the last one, which includes slowly going down from a table position on a 10-count, holding for 10, pushing up for 10, lowering for 10, and holding for 10 before dropping down to your belly. All the others are either to the count of 3 or 5.

You just described Soul Food.
When my 2-year-old practices yoga with me she says she's doing yoda.

I think you might just have described life. If you consider death to be a heartfelt conclusion.
